Mark_w Posted 23 December 2012 Posted 23 December 2012 Agree with st lager ,king and knockaert ..I actually rate Marshall too and I think konchesky has already proven he can hack it. Credit Pearson for Knockers and Marshall! Hold on a second, do you think St. Ledger is better than Morgan...?
5waller5 Posted 23 December 2012 Posted 23 December 2012 Agree with st lager ,king and knockaert ..I actually rate Marshall too and I think konchesky has already proven he can hack it. Credit Pearson for Knockers and Marshall! I think Marshall could be a Premier League squad player .... not sure he'd command a starting place - after all he's not getting one now. But the jury is out for me on Marshall, I just can't work him out.
baronfox Posted 23 December 2012 Posted 23 December 2012 Hold on a second, do you think St. Ledger is better than Morgan...? Please ...don't! St Ledger who has helped Ireland qualify for euros and played at the highest level against the BEST players in the world !! Yes..he is better than Wes Morgan I think Marshall could be a Premier League squad player .... not sure he'd command a starting place - after all he's not getting one now. But the jury is out for me on Marshall, I just can't work him out. I really rate him, needs to be managed well!
Danno Posted 23 December 2012 Posted 23 December 2012 Please ...don't! St Ledger who has helped Ireland qualify for euros and played at the highest level against the BEST players in the world !! Yes..he is better than Wes Morgan Yeah and got completely shown up. So by your logic if Matt Mills was Irish and played in the euros he'd be better than Wes. Hahahaa.
Mark_w Posted 23 December 2012 Posted 23 December 2012 Please ...don't! St Ledger who has helped Ireland qualify for euros and played at the highest level against the BEST players in the world !! Yes..he is better than Wes Morgan If St. Ledger was English, he'd have no such record, and he'd still be kept out the side by Morgan.
baronfox Posted 23 December 2012 Posted 23 December 2012 Yeah and got completely shown up. So by your logic if Matt Mills was Irish and played in the euros he'd be better than Wes. Hahahaa. Trappatoni got it all wrong tactically.. If I remember right I think St ledger scored !!
Danno Posted 23 December 2012 Posted 23 December 2012 Trap patina got it all wrong tactically.. If I remember right I think St ledger scored !! If he was good he'd have at least put in a good performance. Which he didnt.
MattyFromLE Posted 23 December 2012 Posted 23 December 2012 . 164 votes in favour of NP, as opposed to 25 negative ******. Surely the OP feels a lil silly now.
indierich06 Posted 23 December 2012 Posted 23 December 2012 Morgan has easily been our best player this season, without a doubt. He's also the best defender we've had in the last 5 years for sure.
baronfox Posted 23 December 2012 Posted 23 December 2012 If he was good he'd have at least put in a good performance. Which he didnt. Agree he wasn't great but his experience would be valuable if we got promoted...rather him than Morgan in prem,
Danno Posted 23 December 2012 Posted 23 December 2012 I really don't get how some people think St Ledger is the answer. The guy is average and gets shown up against anyone with real quality or is big and strong.
5waller5 Posted 23 December 2012 Posted 23 December 2012 Agree with this, apart from Konchesky would be way off the pace, even against teams like Wigan say. I would keep Drinkwater but wouldn't start him against most Premier League sides, he would get completely and utterly mauled. I think Konch could still be good 2nd choice LB, but we'd definitely need a first choice to be signed. I just haven't rated Drinks too much .... He was awesome against us for Barnsley, but has only recreated that form for us a handful of times. Just can't see him cutting it in the league above.
fleckneymike Posted 23 December 2012 Posted 23 December 2012 Never quite got the fuss over Drinkwater.
baronfox Posted 23 December 2012 Posted 23 December 2012 I really don't get how some people think St Ledger is the answer. The guy is average and gets shown up against anyone with real quality or is big and strong. Giovanni Trappatoni obviously rates him. Think he's a good judge of a player
baronfox Posted 23 December 2012 Posted 23 December 2012 Never quite got the fuss over Drinkwater. Yeah, me too, I like his energy and movement but just lacks that little something
Danno Posted 23 December 2012 Posted 23 December 2012 Giovanni Trappatoni obviously rates him. Think he's a good judge of a player Yeah theres loads of other choice.
kingfox Posted 23 December 2012 Posted 23 December 2012 Never quite got the fuss over Drinkwater. Going back to his inconsistent and average best recently, really thought he was a changed player at the start of the season, but he is going back to how he was last season. I really don't get how some people think St Ledger is the answer. The guy is average and gets shown up against anyone with real quality or is big and strong. We haven't lost any game when St Ledger has played this season, and in all those games he didn't put in a single bad performance yet you still think he is average His distribution is good, reads the game well most of the time, has cut out sloppy mistakes, his heading accuracy is top notch, he can pass out of defence, likes to throw his body on the line and he isn't keen on playing hoof ball. Yet you think he is average. He is an international player, he may not be the best but didn't he tackle Silva and Xavi in the space of about two minutes, at the Euros

Or was that never losing down to our good form, Knockaert not being found out, Vardy playing well, Nugent in form and our fast football working.

I didn't understand why NP played him at right back?? Iv always thought he's our best defender!

Or was that never losing down to our good form, Knockaert not being found out, Vardy playing well, Nugent in form and our fast football working. Can't overshadow the fact that we haven't lost with St Ledger in the side, we conceded just three goals when St Ledger played. With Whitbread in the side we have lost five games and drawn four, yes we have had some big wins inbetween but you also can't overshadow the fact, that we have lost five games with Whitbread in the side. Knockaert and Nugent have played well when Whitbread has been in the side as well, but it's the point where we have lost and drawn too many games, including two home losses and a couple of poor draws, where we should of won.
Mark_w Posted 23 December 2012 Posted 23 December 2012 Can't overshadow the fact that we haven't lost with St Ledger in the side. Seriously stop it, if you didn't think that was a reasonable argument when used to defend Waghorn a few months ago, then you can't use it now.
kingfox Posted 23 December 2012 Posted 23 December 2012 Wow! A decent post! I didn't understand why NP played him at right back?? Iv always thought he's our best defender! I am glad you rate St Ledger, but one thing I don't agree with and I will even admit it myself. Wes Morgan is better than Sean St Ledger, he has put in some very good performances at right-back though, Blackpool especially when De Laet had to drop out, he coped with Ince very well. He is a good defender, only problem I have with him is he sometimes struggles against the more physical strikers, but that is understandable for his size, but I think he has coped with the smaller and quicker strikers this season. Had a blinder at Middlesbrough, snuffed out Paterson of Burnley, coped with Ince against Blackpool and had very good performances against Hull, Huddersfield and Bristol City until he got injured.

Wes Morgan is more important to leics than st ledger at the minute purely based on his leadership which we need right now ,but as a player for technical ability and awareness I feel st ledger is a lot better
My Nads Posted 23 December 2012 Posted 23 December 2012 In no way should we even be talking about Pearsons position at the club, he's the only good manager we've had in over 10 years. I have a feeling the people who want him out are the same people that were star stuck with that clueless dipshit Eriksson. Pearson has built a good solid young team and if Eriksson hadn't of given away Hobbs and Fryatt two quality Leicester players it would be even stronger and lets not forget Pearson tried to bring in Koren (the experienced midfielder everyone keeps going on about), but hull won't deal with us. It's not as easy as playing Football Manager FFS.
